Yes, I've saved real money by purchasing from UK stores also. Specifically "Wiggle", whose name I can't fathom. They do free shipping to the USA with orders of $150 ($, not £... I think it's roughly a £100 threshold). They carry some Brooks bags but not Carradice as far as I know. They do take Paypal. And their website will show you prices in $ with the VAT removed if you indicate that you're shopping for "despatch" to the USA. I knocked a good 30% off good US prices I found on a couple of things. Both times I ordered from them I got the stuff (with the free shipping) in a week and a half.
Another low on the list "con" I should mention about the Sackvilles in general: they're black! I really like the tan or olive drab look. But I think there's a thing about wanting bike bags to have reflective stuff on them. And I don't think reflective stuff goes very well with whole neutral tan drab idea in daylight or, perhaps more significantly, in advertisements. And overall, in spite of the blackness, I do like the look of the Sackvilles. The leather color and the brass work very well to make the black look good. To my eye, anyway. And the SaddleSacks appeal to me in some way as they look a little like VW Beetles. Go figure. My parents had one when I was 5 or so. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
